Head Badge Decal Options?
Are there any companies who make non-brand head badges or decals that won't fall off? I know you can buy brand head badges (Schwinn, etc) all day long but does anyone make head badges that aren't brand specific? If no one does they should.

You could always make your own out of some "water slide" decal or try some manner of embossing/debossing really thin Al...like a beer can (PBR Headbadge?). I'm sure the latter method could be down with a metal burnisher and an object that you would want as a headbadge. In fact I might just try this.

Hmmmm..
